Detroit
A $1 million winning Powerball ticket was sold in Detroit as the national lottery jackpot ballooned to an estimated $1.3 billion. The winning ticket was purchased at a CVS pharmacy located at 18585 E Warren Avenue in Detroit during the drawing held on September 1, 2025. Despite the significant wins across the nation, no one matched all numbers to claim the jackpot in this latest drawing, which has not been won since May 31, 2025.
Alongside the $1 million winner sold in Michigan, a total of ten tickets nationwide matched the five white balls, each earning a prize of $1 million. Other states boasting million-dollar winners include California, Florida, Kentucky, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Two tickets sold in Montana and North Carolina were particularly lucky, matching all five white balls and doubling their winnings to $2 million.
The Powerball drawing on September 1 yielded additional prizes for players across the country, including 124 tickets winning $50,000 and 25 tickets winning $150,000. While many players rejoiced over their sizeable winnings, the elusive jackpot continues to grow, enticing more participants as the next drawing approaches.
Powerball Jackpot Details
As of September 2, 2025, the Powerball jackpot stands at an astounding $1.3 billion. This staggering amount can be claimed in one of two ways: winners can opt for an annuitized prize estimated at the full jackpot amount over 30 years, or they may choose a lump sum payment, which is currently estimated at $589 million.
The next drawing for the Powerball is scheduled for Wednesday, September 3, 2025, at 10:59 p.m., and it is expected to draw large crowds of hopeful participants eager to take a shot at the massive jackpot that has been steadily increasing over recent months.
Background on Powerball Lottery
The Powerball lottery, known for its life-changing jackpots, has captured the attention of millions across the United States since it was introduced. Drawings are held twice a week, and players have the chance to win various prizes based on the numbers they select, ranging from smaller amounts to multi-million dollar jackpots. The odds of winning the jackpot are notably low, contributing to the game’s popularity as the prize amount continues to grow without a winner.
In the weeks leading up to the September 1 drawing, the jackpot had remained unclaimed, pushing the prize higher and attracting even more players eager to try their luck. The recent surge in sale tickets proves the enduring allure of such large prizes, and the excitement around the Powerball remains palpable as participants anticipate the next drawing.
